Back to School Wardrobe on a Budget! Prepare yourself for a photo explosion...seriously, I should have divided this post up into 6 separate posts!

Back to School Wardrobe on a Budget!

Do you spend a ton of money on a new Back to School wardrobe? I get it, some schools have uniforms...but we homeschool...so here is how we do our Back to School Wardrobe on a Budget! To begin. We bought a grundle of t-shirts at the dollar store. Yes, a grundle...I think in the 20-30 range. And we bought a roll of FREEZER PAPER...about $6 at Walmart. Freezer paper is awesome. The shiny side will stick when you iron it...so you can cut a stencil...Iron it to fabric...paint it...then peel off the freezer paper! We had lots of fabric paint, so we were ready to go! And a custom t-shirt form...I mean, a flat rate box...fits a shirt perfectly! We used the Silhouette Cameo to cut the freezer paper in our desired shapes... but this could be accomplished (maybe more easily) with a hobby knife! There were a few varieties of tee's we did. We used a picture of Applebloom from My Little Pony. Love it! Good Cheap ideas / Clever: turn empty toilet paper rolls and a shoe box into a storage caddy! Perfect for kids art supplies...

Make Your Own Binder Cover

There’s something about them that just screams organization. My favorites are the GreenRoom ones from Target. The colors, the prints, the fact that they’re made from recycled materials. But not so much the price. I have a hard time paying $7 for a binder. Some of the pictures are from me making a planner cover.

Stylescope

She couldn't be short on personality if she tried. She expresses herself with playful colors, fun patterns, and an unabashed boldness—all acquired at very savvy prices. She knows her style, and she's not afraid to take risks and have fun. When you visit a Sassy friend, you can't help but smile. Share your inspiration with your fab friends. Start with a crisp, white room, and add bright colors and bold patterns. Hang colorfully patterned sheets as window treatments. Use mismatched tables in fun colors throughout the room to complete the look. Wavy hand. TiggerHQ « Community « 3D Origami Art. Tucandiagramcolor « Community « 3D Origami Art. Faery Crafty.
